[QUOTE="seth77, post: 5404635, member: 56653"]Like everything Berry, I'm also a big fan of Sancerre and especially the valiant and intrepid (and rather picky when it comes to women) Etienne I. Wrote an entry on Sancerre [URL='https://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-counts-of-sancerre-knights-crusaders-administrators.302438/#post-3236464']here[/URL]. [ATTACH=full]1233705[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1233711[/ATTACH] The last piece is an anonymous coinage under Etienne I, probably minted around 1170 while/after his first trip to the Holy Land. In 1169-1170, Etienne was invited to Jerusalem by a party of Holy Land prelates and knights in the name of King Amalric of Jerusalem, in a tentative by the Holy Land interests to have him marry Sibylla, the king's daughter, and become the heir to the throne of Jerusalem by jus uxoris. The tentative failed, but Etienne would remain a close ally to the Kingdom of Jerusalem. When the call of Philip II and Richard Plantagenet for the Third Crusade under both Angevin and Capetian patronage arrived, Etienne froze his old conflict with the King of France and joined the crusader army. Before leaving for the Holy Land again at the beginning of 1190, Etienne I abolished serfdom throughout his whole county and offered generous donations to the Church and the families of his retinue of old Brabancons -- his soldiers -- and knights. He then joined his brothers Henri and Thibaut to the siege of Acre in the summer of the same year, where he found his death that autumn either in battle or by the plague that had started in the Christian camp and would end up killing so many knights and Queen Sybilla. His brother Thibaut would soon follow him, dying from the plague in early 1191. They were buried on site. This anonymous type is one the rarer types minted for Etienne and is dated around 1170 thanks to hoard evidences from the study of the hoards from Accolay, Varzy and Saint-Aubin-les-Forges.[/QUOTE]
